any object.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side view of the toy, andFig. 2 a rear view of the same.

The handle A is composed of a bar of suitable length, a pin, a,projecting from this handle near one end of the same, for carrying thedriving-wheel B and ratchet-wheel D, which are arranged to revolvetogether on the said pin. On the'handle A is a projection, E, and to apin on the top of this projection is adapted a disk, F, the latter beingdriven by the wheel B, through the intervention of suitable gearing.

In the present instance, motion is communicated to'the disk F by theratchet-wheel D gearing into a cog-wheel, H, which turns on a pin on theprojection E, and gears into pins m on the under side of the disk F, onwhich may be placed. a doll or dolls, representations of animals, orother objects attractive to children.

A crank-pin, e, on the driving-wheel B is connected by a rod, J, to aslide, I, adapted to embrace the handle A, so that on turning the saiddriving-wheel a reciprocating motion will be imparted to the slide, towhich may be secured any amusing object.

In order to increase the attractiveness of the toy we secure to the barA a spring, s, the end of which so bears on the teeth of theratchet-wheel that on turning the latter a sound like that of awatchinans rattle will be given.

The toy is operated by grasping the outer end of the handle A, andpushing thedrivingwheel over the floor, table, or sidewalk.

We claim as our invention- 1. The combination of the driving-wheel B andratchet-wheel D with the spring 8 and horizontal disk F, as and for thepurpose set forth."

2. The combiuation ot' the handle A, driving-wheel B, connecting-rod J,and slide I, embracing the said handle,as set forth.

ln testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
